[review and Prospect]:

Spot: as of Friday, the national average price of hot rolls was 3835.3 yuan / ton, down 19.9 yuan / ton from 3855.2 yuan / ton last Thursday.

Futures: as of Friday, the national settlement price of hot volume was 3640 yuan / ton, up 71 yuan / ton from 3569 yuan / ton on Friday.

This week's hot roll period is now divided, spot decline month-on-month contraction, futures reversal rose more.

Spot outlook:

Spot prices are mixed this week, mainly due to the rise of the black disk at the beginning of the week, driving a slight pick-up in market sentiment, the release of terminal procurement demand, so traders homeopathic prices. However, because the rigid demand of the terminal has been weak since April, it is difficult to support the spot price under the condition of continuous arrival of goods in the market. In addition, according to steel mill research feedback, recently issued to strengthen air pollution control and control of a number of steel mills in Tangshan and other places to stop production, the scope of impact on steel mills is limited, so it is expected that the follow-up spot price trend probability shock is weak, but in the raw material end of the ore price support is limited.

[fundamentals]

1. Supply side: in June, the production and receiving orders of steel mills are stable, and the supply side is relatively sufficient.

According to SMM this week's survey data feedback:

In January and June, the order situation of steel mills was basically the same as in May, coupled with the increase in the blast furnace operation rate of steel mills (89.85% this month and + 0.27% last month), so the supply side of steel mills is more abundant.

2. Although the arrival of goods in each mainstream market has decreased this week (a total of 172000 tons of hot rolled mainstream resources, compared with 204000 tons-32000 tons last week), but mainly due to the production to shipping cycle and the influence of Rain Water weather, belong to irresistible factors, and traders feedback that most of the resources are on the way, so it is expected that the arrival of goods next week will increase.

Therefore, to sum up, the supply side of steel mills is more abundant at present. In addition, although there has recently been news of strengthening the prevention and control of air pollution and ordered many steel mills in Tangshan and other places to stop production, the specific implementation is not yet clear, and according to the current survey feedback, the overall impact is relatively small, so it is expected that there will be no significant change on the supply side in the short term.

2. Demand side: June gradually enters the normal off-season, and is expected to continue the trend of weakness next week.

The downstream macro data show that:

Auto industry: in May, car production was 1.851 million, down 21.5 per cent from a year earlier. Passenger car sales were 1.5612 million, down 17.37 per cent from a year earlier. The inventory coefficient of car dealers is 1.65, up 4% from the same period last year, down 18% from the previous month, and the inventory level is above the warning line.

Home appliance industry: in 2019, affected by the slow development of the global home appliance field, the domestic market is not very active, and some categories have even shown a downward trend (according to the total data of Oviyun (AVC) from January to April 2019, kitchen electricity-16.4%, electric heat-13.6%, burning heat-11.4%, water purifier-0.8%).

Real estate industry: from January to May, the sales area of commercial housing was 555.18 million square meters, down 1.6 percent from the same period last year, an increase of 1.3 percentage points over the period from January to April. And the real estate development boom index is 100.85, down 0.07 points from April.

Therefore, on the whole, it is difficult to boost downstream terminal demand in the short term, coupled with the gradual entry into the off-season in June, so terminal demand is expected to continue to be weak next week.

Total inventory: the total inventory of hot rolls this week was 3.0867 million tons, a month-on-month ratio of + 2.0 per cent and a year-on-year ratio of + 4.8 per cent. Among them,
